ADVICE ON FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING (continued)
Exhaust gas monitor
The exhaust gas monitor will detect
any malfunctioning of the vehicle's
exhaust gas anti-pollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic
substances may be released into the
atmosphere or damage may occur.
This instrument panel
warning light shows any
system faults:
This comes on when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after three
seconds.
- If it comes on continuously,
contact your RENAULT Dealer as
soon as possible.
- If it flashes, reduce the engine
speed until the light stops
flashing. Consult your RENAULT
Dealer as soon as possible.
Driving
• Drive carefully for the first few
miles until the engine reaches its
normal operating temperature,
rather than let it warm up while
the vehicle is stationary.
• Speed is expensive.
•“Sporty” driving is expensive:
drive with a “light right foot”.
• Brake as little as possible by
suitably anticipating an obstacle
or bend and then simply releasing
the accelerator pedal.
• Avoid sharp acceleration.
• Donotoverrevtheengineinthe
intermediate gears.
Always use the highest gear
possible without labouring the
engine.
On versions with automatic
gearboxes, it is preferable to keep
the gear lever in position D.
• Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no
more than you would on the level.
Keep your foot in the same
position on the accelerator pedal.
• Double declutching and
accelerating before switching off
are superfluous actions in
modern vehicles.
• Bad weather, flooded roads.
Do not drive through
floods if the water is
above the lower edge of
the wheel rims.
